35. ἣν δεῖ διὰ δικαιοσύνης—ἰέναι. The antecedent to ἥν is
συμβουλήν not ἀρετῆς: cf. Laws, I. 632C (quoted by Heindorf)
κατιδὼν δὲ ὁ θεὶς τοὺς νόμους ἅπασιν τούτοις φύλακας ἐπιστήσει,
τοὺς μὲν (sc. φύλακας) διὰ φρονήσεως, τοὺς δὲ δι᾽ ἀληθοῦς δόξης
ἰόντας. The phrase διὰ δικαιοσύνης ἰέναι is equivalent to δικαίαν
εἶναι as διὰ φιλίας ἰέναι to φίλον εἶναι.
36. ἅπαντος. Schanz reads παντός on account of παντί following: but Plato frequently interchanges ἅπας and πᾶς; see on
Euthyphr. 9E. It is natural that the more emphatic form
ἅπαντος should come first.
38. ἢ μὴ εἶναι πόλεις. ἤ = alioquin is regular with δεῖ,
προσήκει, and the like, in the preceding clause: cf. below 323c ἢ
μὴ εἶναι ἐν ἀνθρώποις and 325A
αὕτη—τούτου αἰτία: asyndeton as in 318Aτοσοῦτος ὅ γε
ἡμέτερος λόγος.
39. ὡς τῷ ὄντι ἡγοῦνται. The presence of τῷ ὄντι, as
Sauppe remarks, shows that ὡς depends on τεκμήριον in l. 42:
cf. below, 324Cὡς μὲν οὖν εἰκότως ἀποδέχονται—ἀποδέδεικταί σοι.
